tell us the process. i understand the legal process to bring this default mortgage back to the original owner can be as much as one-half of the mortgage. guest: charles i think is expressing something that is very real. we talked about the devaluation of homes across the country. a component that contributes to the problem is the job market that we are in, the lower wages, the ability of folks to be able to meet the loans whenever they entered into the purchase of that home. i think it is the wrong answer to come in and say the principal owned by that consumer should be reduced arbitrarily by a third party. one of the questions that was asked of general another, let's assume hypothetically that we engage in this process of getting $20 billion to $25 billion from some of these servicers. who is going to be the custodian of that money? how will we determine which states -- florida has had more of a challenge than oklahoma. how are we going to engage in this process of addressing principle write-downs and lo

while many of us will not agree on the legislation before us today, we know it is necessary for us to pr seed. so i don't -- to proceed. i don't rise to oppose or support the legislation but instead to comment on the situation we're in. we're debating a short-term bill to keep the government open on a week-by-week basis. this is not any way to run a government or a business. it certainly is not the way as the military generals have told us to protect the national security of our country on a week-to-week basis. democrats will work with republicans on legislation that will create jobs that will strengthen the middle class and reduce the deficit. when all three of these scores, this -- on all three of these scores, this republican spending bill fails. democrats have long fought for fiscal responsibility as a top priority of this congress. we won't go into the history right now but it's well known that president clinton took us out of a period of deficit into his last five budgets being in surplus or in balance. . president bush turned that around when he became president and we have to

people use the various different percentages the way they wish to use them. just like tenure has become an excuse to not evaluate teachers, and teacher union contracts are not about how we transform education, how we get people the tools and conditions they need to do a good job because teacher and children's interests are virtually the same. teachers go into this profession to make a difference in the lives of kids, and our lafflet caller was right. when you see all this bashing and demonizing of the very people that want to make a difference in kids, it is a chilling effect to get people to go into our profession. host: joe writes, if it is not true accident then i'm wrong, teachers can be fired at the direction of the principal. yes or no? guest: correct. if you notice, i start talking about it like due process. it is not like what happens in colleges. it is that in most districts, there is a three-year probationary period before somebody, if they get fired, just gets a hearing before that happens p that's what tenure is. and it has been used as an excuse
